Connect Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
� Connect to potable water supply only.
� Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
� The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is
used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX
(cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper or PEX tubing
connections from the household water line to the refrigerator
are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice
or water. Check for leaks. For recommended parts if PEX
tubing is used instead of copper:
W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX),
8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or
W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).
� Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
� Flat-blade screwdriver
� 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
� 1/4" nut driver
Connect to Water Line
IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is
connected, turn off the ice maker.
Style 1 (Recommended)
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Use a quarter-turn shut-off valve or the equivalent, served by
a 1/2" copper or PEX household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a
minimum 1/2" size copper or PEX household supply line is
recommended.
A. Bulb
B. Nut
C. Copper or PEX tubing (to refrigerator)
D. Household supply line (1/2" minimum)
4. Now you are ready to connect the copper or PEX tubing to the
shut-off valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter)
soft copper or PEX tubing to connect the shut-off valve and
the refrigerator.
� Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.
Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
� Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper
tubing as shown. (PEX tubing has compression sleeves
and compression nuts preinstalled.) Insert end of tubing
into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw
compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench.
Do not overtighten.
A. Compression
sleeve
B. Compression nut
C. Copper or PEX tubing
5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn on main water supply to flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn off shut-off valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final
connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible
water valve malfunction.
6. Bend the copper or PEX tubing to meet the water line inlet,
which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet. Leave
a coil of copper or PEX tubing to allow the refrigerator to be
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a 1/2" (1.27 cm) to 1
1
/
4
" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
� Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
� Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper or PEX tubing you need.
Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of
refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for
cleaning. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper
or PEX tubing. Be sure both ends of copper or PEX tubing are
cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.
A. Cold water pipe
B. Pipe clamp
C. Copper or PEX
tubing
D. Compression nut
E. Compression sleeve
F. Shut-off valve
G. Packing nut
